(Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)Doc Rivers's "intense dislike" for Rajon Rondo is the primary reason the coach wants to leave the Boston Celtics, according to Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com.The feud between Rivers and his point guard led to an incident during a team meeting in the locker room in which Rondo cursed at Rivers, who responded by trying to fight Rondo before the "fracas" was broken up, a source close to the team told Sheridan.The report does not specify when the fight occurred.Reports on Friday said Rivers is no longer pursuing the Los Angeles Clippers' head coaching position after the teams discussed a trade. The Celtics will resolve the situation on Monday, according to the same report. Rivers and Rondo have clashed in the past. Their rocky relationship was the reason behind the Celtics putting Rondo on the trading block in each of the past two seasons. Promoted Stories Comments

The Ospreys winger is looking forward to this summer's Junior World Championship with Wales Under 20

Medidata Solutions Selected To Support U.S. Government Research On Drug Development Costs
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and consulting firm Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) have selected the comprehensive trial cost database products from Medidata Solutions (NASDAQ: MDSO) to drive research into improving the clinical trial process industry-wide. Through Medidata Grants Manager ® and Medidata CRO Contractor ®, HHS will have access to Medidata's extensive proprietary databases containing information from over 275,000 negotiated clinical site grants and almost 9,000 outsourced R&D contracts.
In support of HHS' goal of bringing health-related innovation to the public faster, ERG will analyze Medidata's trial cost data to identify factors that delay or derail clinical studies. ERG will also assist HHS in assessing the economic benefit of implementing policies that encourage more streamlined clinical trials for the efficient delivery of safe and effective new therapies.
Medidata Grants Manager and Medidata CRO Contractor data solutions are widely used by pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations (CROs) and academic researchers to identify prevailing rates for trial planning, budget development and grant negotiation. Uniquely, Medidata Grants Manager's database, PICAS ®, and CRO Contractor's database, CROCAS ®, contain hundreds of thousands of data elements derived from actual negotiated contracts, analyzable at any combination of therapeutic level, phase or geography, in easy-to-use computer-based analytic tools. With this breadth of globally accessible real-world information, these databases have become an industry standard for measuring trial cost trends.
The HHS and ERG research will be conducted over the next several months, with results expected by the end of this year.
- "Medidata's PICAS and CROCAS databases are the perfect inputs to our research, providing the broadest, most comprehensive collection of real-world negotiated trial costs that can be disaggregated and examined," said Aylin Sertkaya, vice president, ERG.
- "We are delighted to have HHS leveraging the Medidata platform in the pursuit of more efficient clinical trials, with the ultimate goal of getting effective therapies to the patients who need them," said Glen de Vries, president, Medidata Solutions. "While our data products are used by a broad set of life sciences companies to efficiently plan and manage their trials on a daily basis, they are also increasingly a key input for the vital research driving innovative improvements on an industry-wide scale."

It is an excellent source of insoluble fiber. Insoluble fibers may regulate transit time and support the health of the GI tract. Unlike soluble fiber, insoluble fiber does not feed undesirable bacteria well and is not readily fermented into short chain fatty acids. It has no effect on cholesterol levels and inactivates many intestinal toxins. High intake of insoluble fiber is associated with a decreased risk of unfavorable conditions of the colon, potentially supporting balanced intestinal microbiology.

Sodus murder victims remembered
Lyons, N.Y. Those who knew 54-year-old Terri Moulton and her daughter 30-year-old Stacey held a candlelight vigil Sunday to remember their lives.
They were my neighbors, Ive known them for a long time, said friend Wanda Beal. They were wonderful people, fellow Christians, the sort of person they would help out anyone in need.
Terri and her daughter Stacey were known for their kindness and love of animals.
If you know Stacey and Terri you know that any animal in need got the help that it needed, said Beal.
On July 14, Terri and Stacey stopped at a friend's house in Sodus to check on the family's pets while they were away.
That neighborly gesture would turn the small town upside-down. Police said Terri and Stacey walked into a burglary in progress--and were murdered as a result.
People are frightened, people are really frightened, said Beal. We always watch out for our neighbors homes when we know they're not there, and this totally took us by surprise.
Beal said in time they will heal, but will never be the same. I don't think any of us will ever get back to normal, more people will be locking their doors, said Beal So we'll just have to see what time brings.

Once it opens all the way, back out and then quickly press A as soon as the menu appears. Your doors should now be stuck wide open. They will close if you select some options, mainly the "Doors" modifications. When you leave the garage, your doors should still be stuck open, and you can drive around with them in this position. |

desert varnish
desert varnish
nounDefinition of DESERT VARNISH
: a dark coating which is found on rocks after long exposure in desert regions and whose color is due to iron and manganese oxides
First Known Use of DESERT VARNISH
circa 1898
desert varnish
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Thin, dark red to black mineral coating (generally iron and manganese oxides and silica) deposited on pebbles and rocks on the surface of desert regions. As dew and soil moisture brought to the surface by capillary action evaporate, their dissolved minerals are deposited on the surface. Wind abrasion removes the softer salts and polishes the surface to a glossy finish. Both high evaporation rates and sufficient precipitation are necessary for desert varnish to form.
Variants of DESERT VARNISH
desert varnish or patina

I purchased this lamp outside Albany NY. It is made of cast brass, hand-forged wrought-iron, faceted crystal, and has an 18" diam marble table in the center. It is absolutely enchanting but the only clue I have to its origin are a stamp on the wooden base "made in italy". Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to find some clues?? thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would put it about 1970's when those lamps with the built in tables were popular. Are you SURE the iron is hand forged and the crystals faceted? Is there any marking on the electrical fixtures where the bulbs go? What sort of bulbs does it take? Linda C |
Thanks very much for your response. Upon examining the light fixture, it is marked "Levitan 250 watt" The socket itself does appear to be a new edition, but I am very uncertain... I am not sure it is hand forged, it just appears that way. I am certain of the materials, however. The crystal segments were coated in red film... they appear to be faceted, but could the be cast somehow? Your guidance and input is greatly apprecited, thank you. Gretchen |
The red crystals are "flashed" that is coated with a sort of paint film....and I really don't think that iron is "hand wrought". The crystals most likely are molded glass.....they don't appear to be cut...or faceted. A 250 watt light bulb indicated a fairly new origine. |

Real men want to be good in bed. They want to satisfy their partners. My satisfaction derives from my wife's satisfied look on her face in bed. I think every real man's fantasy is to have the paramedics come after sex: 'Clear! What did you do to her, buddy? Clear! That's the third time this week. We're not coming back.'

Scarlett Johansson: Her Sexiest Red Carpet Looks and Bikini Moments (PHOTOS)
Scarlett Johansson is proving that she's one of Hollywood's most fashionable leading ladies.
The 27-year-old is currently visiting Sicily, where she attended Dolce & Gabbana's first-ever couture collection presentation during Haute Couture Fashion Week. The actress has been a spokesmodel for the fashion label's cosmetics line since 2009.
While abroad, her fashion sense is as flawless as ever -- whether business or casual.
Click through the gallery for her sexiest red carpet -- and bikini -- looks.
Johansson's stunning style isn't the only reason she's turning heads: she topped web trends after being spotted with her handsome bodyguard on a yacht in Italy this week. Missing was her boyfriend Nate Naylor, who she began dating late last year. She split from hubby Ryan Reynolds in 2010.
In other Johansson news, reports have surfaced that The Avengers star will make a whopping $20 million to appear in the film's sequel.

I have toyed with the idea of buying a 9mm Kahr for a carry piece but have heard some good and some bad about them. I am not looking for utopia but what is the most reliable 9mm that Kahr produces? Thanks in advance for any input or thoughts.
This is a discussion on Which 9mm Kahr? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I have toyed with the idea of buying a 9mm Kahr for a carry piece but have heard some good and some bad about them. ...
I have toyed with the idea of buying a 9mm Kahr for a carry piece but have heard some good and some bad about them. I am not looking for utopia but what is the most reliable 9mm that Kahr produces? Thanks in advance for any input or thoughts.
For my smaller gun needs I carry an "all metal" Kahr 9mm Micro Model MK9. Same gun as the full size all metal Kahr K9, except the barrel and the grip are both 1/2" shorter. I prefer the all metal heavier MK9 instead of the lighter metal and plastic PM9.
Sometimes I carry in right front pocket using a pocket holster from High Noon Holsters. Sometimes I carry OWB using a DeSantis open top belt slide holster. This MK9 is generally my around the house gun, or when I want to or have to really deep conceal.
Otherwise I carry a .45 acp Smith Wesson 4516-2.
"There is no such thing as too much ammo. Unless you're swimming!"
I bought the PM9 a couple of years ago and it has performed well. I bought it primarily for a lighter easier to conceal weapon. With the hot Texas summers conceal carry can be an issue. But with the PM9 I have found that I can conceal very easily while wearing shorts/tshirt.
I am not the biggest fan of DAO, but with some range time I have become proficient with it. With all that said, its a reliable weapon that is very easy to conceal.
"Do not fear those who disagree with you; fear those that do and are too cowardly to admit it" - Napoleon
I personally carry a P9 because of its light weight and grip I could get my entire hand on. I think from a concealment standpoint, the P9 Covert (same slide, shorter PM9 grip) would be a better choice. The "full size" slide models seem much more reliable than the shorter slides (PM, MK). Also, the polymer frames sometimes have a few more problems than the steel frames. So overall, I would say a K9 (full size, steel frame) would be the most reliable. It will also be the heaviest, and harder to conceal than the compact models.
I like the models with standard length slide/barrel. I consider the K9/K40 and P9/P40 to be standard length Kahrs.
I'll tell you why, but want to make it clear that Kahr may have made a change or two that negates that.
My first Kahr was an MK9 (slightly shorter slide and barrel, and grip, than standard). It would have an occaisional feed problem where the slide would fail to close completely. It might happen once or twice per 100 rds- but too much for a carry gun.
When operating the slide by hand, there was noticeably less spring pressure in the last bit of forward slide travel. Other MK9s I checked felt the same.
After checking around, I heard of other MK9 owners having the same feed problem.
I blamed it on the MK9's dual recoil spring system because both springs did not seem to exert pressure throughout the slide's travel. One spring quit exerting force at the same point the slide stopped when it failed to close. I think that if both springs had worked over the entire slide travel, it would have functioned OK.
Or if it had used a single spring system that worked over the full travel.
I decided that if I tried Kahr again, it would be a model with a single recoil spring like the standard length slides used.
I got a PM9 Covert, which has the short, MK9-size grip, but the standard K9-size barrel/slide. It's worked fine, and the recoil spring exerts force throughout the slide's travel.
I have heard that Kahr has done something to correct the problem I had with my MK9, but can't know for certain.
But I will stay with a model with a standard-length slide/barrel anyway.
I have the K-9 and have never had any trouble with it. It seems to just disappear when I am wearing it and since it is stainless...no corossion problems. I have fired the P-9 at the range but didn't like it as much.
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store not a government agency
I have a K9 and no problems daily carry gun and training gun also.
I absolutely LOVE my K9. I have the older nickel model. Yes, it is heavy for it's size, but it makes it a pleasure to shoot, even with +P rounds. It is so flat and compact that I can easily wear it under a loose fitting t-shirt using an OWB holster, which is great in the MS heat and humidity. It is just as accurate as my Sig P225 or P228, especially with 124-grain GS. All in all, one of my very favorite carry pistols.
"Skin that smokewagon!".
Another vote for the PM9 here....Love mine!!!!
Nothing Wrong With Shooting as Long as the Right People Get Shot.
Clint Eastwood, Magnum Force, 1973
i have the cw9 and love it. both accurate and very easy to conceal. highly recommend it. =O)
I've got the CW9 and also highly recommend it, but also recommend the P9. If you want night sights, the CW9 doesn't have a front dovetail. Not sure if I'll be able to get night sights on mine or not. Haven't looked into it yet.
I also recommend the CW9. It is cheaper than most Kahrs and I found out they shoot a tad low but for saving a couple of hundred dollars it is easy enough to compensate for.
May God Bless the United States of America and our troops in harms way.
I own a TP-9 and love the weapon, but do not like the lack of availability of holsters as compared to the other models. But I have to admit, my next one will likely be a P-45.
"Respect all ... Fear none!!!
I had problems with my pm9 and went another direction. The size and carry of the pm9 is great, the quality is not as good as a $599 gun should be IMO. I love the Glock26 that I went with, but it does not carry as easy.
I would pay $899 for a pm9 if it were as reliabel and smooth as the Glock 26

Do a search around here for more info, there's been other threads like yours. What it boils down to is that the guy can sometimes be a crook or slow as hell most of the time. Never order anything on his website, you probably won't see your money or goods again. If you must have what he is offering get it off of eBay, he more often fulfills those orders since there are real consequences if he doesnt deliver. I believe he sells under the name scrodmaster. If you're just looking for phantom parts get them from more trusted people is my .02. If its something only he makes that you absolutely must have, get it off eBay only.

I will never deal with WWA again. I do like his products but he will take your money and ignore you if he does not have your part in stock or if he just feels like it. It took me forever to get my money back the last time I tried to order a pump kit from him. He wont respond to emails or offer any help. If you insist on buying from him try to get it on Ebay if he still sells there. He seemed to care about that account more since you can leave neg feedback when he ignores you.

I would like to share with you a foolproof method of propagating Ficus Lyrata from a single leaf and Petiole. My cutting was a 6 month old leaf that was beginning to be overshadowed by larger new growth, I decided to prune some of the older leaves that were very close to the soil line. Break (or cut) the stem off at the node, preserve the entire Petiole, the Petiole on my cutting was about 1.5 cm long. Find a jar taller and a bit wider than the leaf, fill with 1inch of warm filtered water (I used reverse-osmosis filtered water) add a drop of honey and place the leaf upright in the jar (the water should completely cover the petiole and a small bit of the leaf. cover the the jar with plastic wrap. Perforate the plastic wrap and leave the jar in an area with diffuse sun or bring artificial light. For 3-4 weeks you will see nothing at all, check for signs of bacteria/fungus in the water and change if necessary. Properly filtered water should not have this issue. After approx 3-4 weeks a taproot should vigorously emerge. Mine grew 3 inches in 2 days. At this point you can pot. I hope this is helpful, as I've hear that Lyrata can be difficult to propagate in water. |

Does it form a new leader,or is it going to be a leaf for life? I've never done this with a lyrata so who knows...maybe something to it(sure hope so!). Rooting ficus leaves in terrariums,I too had extensive rooting occur but never anything up top. I COULD just be jinxed though. lol |
- Posted by mossinajar (My Page) on Wed, Jun 18, 14 at 13:22
Transferred it to soil, waiting for it to get established before I make any judgments. Anybody know of a magic way to force a new shoot from a leaf cutting? |
- Posted by asleep_in_the_garden Rochopolis Minnesota (My Page) on Wed, Jun 18, 14 at 14:19
Some kind of auxin therapy maybe? Al(Tapla) knows much about the chemistry of these things...hopefully he will make an appearance! |
- Posted by mossinajar (My Page) on Wed, Jul 2, 14 at 15:25
No sign of any new growth yet, how would I go about doing the auxin therapy? Just scrape a bit of the skin off the petiole and apply some rooting hormone powder and maybe some sphagnum to keep it moist? |

How did things end up turning out with this? I am all in favor of experiments. :) |

Hockey Fan's Worst Nightmare?
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- The NHL board of governors will meet next month, when commissioner Gary Bettman could seek permission to call off the 2004-05 season.
Top officials from the 30 clubs will gather on Jan. 14 with Bettman, the league confirmed Wednesday. If a collective bargaining agreement hasn't been reached with the players' association by then, the lockout will probably cause the cancelation of the 2004-05 season.
Bettman has so far resisted announcing a drop-dead date to call off the entire season.
"I can't confirm any particular agenda for that meeting," Bill Daly, the NHL's chief legal officer, told The Associated Press in an e-mail. "I think it would be premature to do that, and quite frankly, unfair to the process."
When the group got together on Sept. 15, Bettman was given the go-ahead to impose the lockout.
Bettman has remained steadfast that he is committed to making the right deal that will provide cost certainty to clubs. If that agreement comes in time to play a respectable season, then the league will do so.
"The calendar is not an issue. It's about making the right deal," Bettman said earlier this month.
As of Wednesday, the lockout was 98 days old and had forced the cancelation of 470 regular-season games and the 2005 All-Star game.
Whether there is an official cancelation date or not, time is clearly running short to make a deal and play a legitimate season. The lockout during the 1994-95 season ended on Jan. 11 and allowed for a 48-game season.
The NHL has told its arenas that dates can be released on a 45-day rolling basis, which would already carry into February.
No North American sports league has lost an entire season to a labor dispute, and the Stanley Cup has been awarded every year since 1919 when a flu epidemic wiped out the final series between Montreal and Seattle.
The league and the players' association met twice within a week earlier this month, but no progress was made and no new talks have been scheduled.
The NHLPA invited the league back to the bargaining table on Dec. 9, for the first talks in three months, and proposed a deal that featured an across-the-board 24 percent salary rollback.
That offer was rejected four days later by owners, who said it was a one-time fix and not a long-term solution to correct the league's financial problems.
The NHL countered with a proposal that was based on a salary cap, guaranteeing a link between league revenues and player costs, that was quickly turned down by the union.
A salary cap is an option the NHLPA says it will never accept. In turn, Bettman said he has no interest in any kind of luxury tax proposed by the players.
================================================== ==========
My idea on this is to "Screw it" and start over. Cut everybody loose. Never to play again. Have a new draft with minor league, college and junior level players eligible. It will take a while, but it won't be too long to get back to an enviable level of play. Ticket prices will drop, fan loyalty will rise and hockey can be restored to the level of dignity and respect it once enjoyed.
I REALLY dislike the way the Wirtz Family who owns The Chicago Blackhawks has done everything possible to turn a once proud and competitive team into the joke they are today. They have done NOTHING to make NHL hockey more accessible for new fans. I dont think you can lump all of this on the players. The OWNERS need to get their act together and BETTMAN is no prize either as far as I am concerned.
I'm begining to say to hell with the NHL......In Canada we got the CHL and I'm begining to like that much more than I ever did the NHL...I find the games are more action packed..Lots of Goals,Hitting,Fighting and not to mention getting to see the up and coming stars like my boy Sidney Crosby...Not to mention its only like 15 bucks to go to a game

I still prefer college hockey over pro. I guess that holds true for all sports.

When play resumes, NHL to reinvent itself with new rules,
HDTV-friendly action
By ALAN ROBINSON
AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) - The changes might be drastic enough to tempt
44-year-old Wayne Gretzky into coming out of retirement.
After years of lobbying for a more scoring-friendly and
fan-appealing league, Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux is convinced the
NHL is ready to grant his wish. The only problem is ending the
lockout that has doomed this NHL season and could threaten another
before owners and players agree on a labor contract.
The 39-year-old Lemieux hopes he has some more goals left in him
when it happens, now that the league seems determined to crack down
on the on-ice mugging and the defend-every-inch-of-ice defenses
that have made NHL shootouts as rare as football single-wing
The scoring dropoff is so acute that only Tampa Bay's Martin St.
Louis (94 points) had 90 points last season - not even half of
Gretzky's 215 in 1985-86 or Lemieux's 199 in 1988-89. In only 10
years, the NHL has seen its goals-per-game average drop from 7 to
With the NHL desperate to rebuild its fan base and increase
national TV ratings that were lower than Arena Football's,
commissioner Gary Bettman is promising drastic rules changes to
bring back the speed, flow and offensive rhythm that have been
missing since Gretzky was in his prime.
Lemieux's reply: What took so long?
"There's been a lot of talk about making the game more
exciting, opening up the game, bringing back the offense that was
there in the 1980s and early 1990s," said Lemieux, the Penguins'
player-owner. "It's going to be a lot more exciting when the NHL
comes back. It's going to be a great game with, hopefully, a lot
more scoring and a lot of offense ... and (less) clutching and
Many of the new rules are being tried this season in the AHL,
which expects to have at least two 100-point scorers (Binghamton's
Jason Spezza and Manchester's Mike Cammalleri) and possibly more.
Among them are shootouts to decide overtime ties, wider blue lines
that increase the size of the neutral zone, less distance between
the nets and the end boards, smaller goaltending gear, no-touch
icing and tag-up offsides.
The NHL is also toying with eliminating the red line, thus doing
away with the dreaded two-line passing rule and creating the
end-to-end breaks so common in international play.
NHL vice president Colin Campbell met last month with six
coaches to discuss the planned relaunch, saying even fans of
winning teams were complaining about the duller-than-dull style of
"My gut tells me we will be playing (next season), and the game
will be better," Minnesota Wild president Doug Risebrough said.
"We have to build the game and built it around the fans."
Because of the NHL's traditionally strong fan base in cities
such as Detroit, Toronto, Denver, Philadelphia and Montreal,
experts say the first shutdown of a major North American sports
league for a full season may not devastate the league. While
baseball attendance dropped about 20 percent after its 1994-95
strike, hockey attendance increased 10 percent following a
half-season shutdown in 1994-95.
"I think you can make an argument that hockey, compared to
baseball, basketball and even football, has a higher percentage of
hardcore committed fans," former CBS Sports president Neal Pilson
said. "It's a much smaller universe, but NHL owners assume their
season-ticket base and committed viewers will return when league
play resumes."
The NHL is also counting on the ever-growing popularity of
high-definition television to boost TV ratings that are respectable
on a regional basis but minuscule nationally. Both ESPN2 and NBC
plan HDTV telecasts once the league returns, though ESPN2 first
must pick up its options for the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.
Hockey, like football, is well-suited for HDTV's movie
screen-like wide picture, which is five times sharper than
conventional analog TV. The league is also excited about the
ever-expanding acceptance of HDTV, which saw more than 1 million
sets sold recently during the run-up to the Super Bowl.
To aid the impression that hockey is a fast, edgy game, NHL
uniform supplier Reebok plans to outfit players in flashier,
sleeker and more formfitting uniforms next season.
"HDTV helps all sports, but it really helps hockey," Pilson
said. "Fans unfamiliar with the game can see passes being made and
collected without a skip in the picture - it helps with fans who
haven't played the game."
The NHL believes the changes will force coaches to play a more
wide-open style. In recent seasons, overachieving teams such as the
Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Mighty Ducks and Calgary Flames relied
on suffocating, star-controlling defenses to reach the Stanley Cup
"Hopefully, we're going to take that out of that game,"
Lemieux said.

If these rule changes go through-especially eliminating the red line-temas like the Devils will be losing teams. They can only win with the trap and the clutch and grab crap. There will be a shift back to smaller, faster players and away from the 6' 8" 255 lb. defenseman who can barely skate but is very good at throwing a bear hug around a right wing.
It will be the best thing to happen to hockey. I just hope that it happens in the NHL and not some other start up league.
It is just a damn shame. I don't know why but I always thought that hockey players were the lowest paid "pro" athletes. I was amazed to read how much even the rookies make. It is absolutely ridiculous that people expect to make that much money. I had the opportunity to attend several Bruins games at the old Boston Garden and that was awesome. The history, the obstructed views the old wooden seats were something to behold. The new Fleet Center was nice but not the same. You can't go for any less than 100 bucks per ticket and then another 35 for parking. I will never go to another game in Boston as long as I live. Providence plays 10 minutes from my house and the games are just as good.
You know something ironic about it all. The last time the NHL season was cancelled was the year after the Red Sox won the World Series. I knew I hated baseball for a reason.Last edited by cfdeng3; 02-23-2005 at 10:05 AM.
It's a classic case of millionaires fighting billionaires. Personally, I don't care for professional sports - they are a bunch of jerks who think their crap doesn't stink because they can throw/catch/run/skate/jump/block/etc
These boneheads are refusing to do their "job" because they aren't getting paid enough (how many million per season do you really need?), while we have cities across the country cutting public safety positions, teachers being laid off, you know... jobs that REALLY MATTER.
If the NHL never played again, I wouldn't miss it. Here's hoping for a baseball strike...Resident Chaplain of the IACOJ
Though I love the game, some of it has been hard to watch over the last 10 years or so. I look forward to the rule changes. I kept hearing how the Lightning winning the cup with a wide open, full pressure style of play was going to have an effect on other teams. Sounds like the league took notice as well.

text: Hi, I am new to homebrewtalk.com and attempting my first go at hard cider. I combined frozen concentrate, organic juice, and store-shelf juice for about 1.5 gallons of final product. I know that unpasteurized, unpreserved cider is best (and I plan to get 5 gallons from a local orchard in November), but I could not find any cider at the store without potassium sorbate in it. One of the juice products I used had malic acid in it. I've read that ascorbic is OK, but is anyone aware if malic acid has any negative effect? So here's what I used: 2 quarts Juicy Juice 100% apple juice 2 quarts organic apple juice 4 cans 100% apple juice concentrate pectin enzyme yeast nutrient Red-Star Montrachet yeast I warmed the juice just to bring it to about room temp and put in in my primary fermenter (plastic bucket) with the pectin enzyme anad yeast nutrient. S.G. was 1.070, which is high (I think). Heated about 1 cup of the juice and sprinkled the yeast over, let it sit for a few minutes, stirred and added to the fermenter. I did not use campden tablets IN the juice (although I did sanitize with it) because it was all pasteurized juice. Added the airlock and placed in my coat closet. 24 hours later, the air lock is bubbling away and the closet smells lightly yeasty. So here are my questions: 1) Do I just leave this concoction alone for 3-4 weeks (as some previous posts have indicated) and then rack into my secondary? 2) Once in the secondary, how many months would you recommend? And is racking once a month good/necessary/sufficient? 3) I want to bottle carb the cider and I would like it to be sweet (NOT dry!!!). When should I bottle (at what S.G.)? Also, if I bottle when it has not completely fermented out, do I still add a sugar (I want to use apple juice concentrate) when I bottle? This is the part of the process about which I am most confused (vs. adding potassium sorbate and back sweetening, etc.). I have read about people adding 2 cans per 5 gallons of cider before bottling. If you have done this, did you let it completely ferment out (S.G. 1.000 or less) first? 4) How long in the bottle? I've read many people state that the longer it goes, the better is tastes. Your experience? I know this has been long and painfully similar to other noobs' posts. Thanks for any advice!

If you walk in on your parents having sex, just go downstairs and shove some pasta in your face. Don't ask any questions. Whatever you do, do NOT have a conversation with the people raising you. They don't want to talk to you anyway. They just want to fuuuuuuuuuuck! "Make me feel good!" That's your mom. "Make me some pasta!" That's you.

Benjy | Trip report - Doesn't look like you can take Hwy 60 down through Matagorda, onto the beach and the 25 miles or so east to the Lake Jackson / Freeport area. Still had fun, beach was nice & quiet, just a few spring breakers although a few of em did churn up the sand a bit in spots so that a car couldn't get past. Didn't see anything that I'd need 4wd for out there, nothing like what I was on back east. Did hear that Aransas Pass has plenty of loamy sand for testing the 4wd. Maybe Memorial Day weekend I'll get a chance to test the sand down there. |
Duckquackers | Benjy, I would say take 59N up to Hwy 6 west and then take the back way into Galveston from there jump onto the ferry to Boliver and ride the beach all the way past High Island to 71 and take that to 10 and back up to 71 and home. I will be making my way out to Galveston most likely on Friday. |

Beach driving from A to B Howdy fellow Jeepers, Heading to Austin tomorrow for spring break, then heading to the coastline on Tuesday and I'm looking for a section of beach that we can drive along in one direction and get back towards the Galveston area. Any thoughts on where to go? I've only been to Galveston and that was years ago, so I'm a newb to the TX coastal areas at the moment. I'm planning on a drive south from Austin through Bastrop & La Grange, then to El Campo or Victoria and then on to the beach to head east towards the Galveston area. Any advice is sure appreciated. Thanks & God Bless, Benjy |

Jaylove, Thanks for sharing. Great info all around, and no, I don't feel you're stealing my thunder or anything like that. Out of curiosity, are you brewing my recipe exactly except for the spice amounts? I actually do like your spice measurements. I used mostly fresh ground spices except for the couple pumpkin pie spice "top-offs" which I mainly added to ensure I hit the correct pie spice flavor. Are you planning on doing a secondary spice tea only if you taste and feel it necessary? In other words, did you choose the boil amounts hoping to hit the exact flavor you want without the use of a secondary spice tea? Oh, and I am so jealous that you get to use fresh pumpkin. I guess that's the benefit to brewing this a little later in the season: there are pumpkins around! I'm thinking of baking/pureeing fresh pumpkin this fall and freezing it for use next year. And finally, good sir. I wonder if you'd be interested in a swap: a bottle or two of your version for a bottle or two of mine? I don't expect mine to be conditioned for at least another 5-6 weeks, but if you're interested we can set up a swap to see how our different versions come. Thanks for posting, and good luck with the brew day.
Hi onipar, Sorry to burst your bubble, but I actually had to use canned pumpkin for this batch. I had fresh pumpkin for the previous one. To your questions:Differences From Your Recipe: - Used same grain bill, hops and schedule. As I said before, your recipe really captured several elements from my favorite pumpkin beer recipes that I was looking at so I thought I'd go with it. - Increased spices in the boil and added ginger and cloves (I didn't want to use "pumpkin pie spice" because the ingredients tend to vary greatly - but pumpkin pie spices tend to incorporate ginger and cloves, which you had left off). - Used Wyeast 1028 London Ale Yeast, which some sites note is comparable to WLP002 English - May add a spice tea, lactose, vanilla beans, more pumpkin during secondary or bottling if it seems to warrant it. Yes, I prefer to nail down the flavor profile in the initial brewing, if possible, but I'm open to refining later as needed. I wonder if you find that adding ingredients in stages really does layer flavors. That's really it... Really similar.Brew Day Notes / Differences From onipar: - Baked the pumpkin puree on a cookie @ 350-degrees for 60-mins but it wasn't very caramelized. So I broiled in on low for 15-mins more and it looked great - like the top of a pumpkin pie. - After the partial mash, ended up with 2.75-gallons wort. Very orangy and sweet. - The 15oz of pumpkin I added at 60mins in the boil ended up boiling right into the wort through the grain bag... - Making matters worse, I forgot to add a clarifier in the boil. - Fermentation began about 3-hours after pitching and seems to be almost finished after 3 days. It's very cloudy in there with a lot of trub... But it smelled like a pumpkin pie and my wife says it tasted like a nice pumpkin pie batter with the crust added in -- that's promising, but I've been disappointed by then end results before... - Hit my SG of 1.057 perfectly. I'm thinking I'll add a claifier solution during secondary - it'll definitely need it. I have several weeks to go myself, but I'd be happy to swap bottles with you, onipar - if things don't go terribly wrong in the end, that is. I think it's legal to ship alcohol from Washington State. I'd be interesting to see how each of us did on this - and hope I don't embarrass myself too much. I'll be able to do a taste test soon enough and see how it's going. __________________ Planning: Anniversary Coconut Milk Stout, Tempest Kolsch, Harpoon Winter Warmer Primary: Moon Hill Pumpkin Ale (Clone) Bottled: Evil Twin, Pliny Clone, Dragon's Milk Brown, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone, Magnifera Indica Belgae clone (Belgian Strong fermented w/ mango and bourbon-soaked oak), Chocolate Hazelnut Porter, Bert Grant's Perfect Porter clone
Jaylove, Awesome! Yeah, it sounds like you brewed this really close to mine. The only differences really are the spices and the yeast (and if you add anything later). You asked, "I wonder if you find that adding ingredients in stages really does layer flavors." Wellllll, in theory, yes. In actually practice, I don't know. I'm thinking of the spices in the same way we think of hops. Boiling them for 5 minutes is going to bring out a different flavor than steeping them in hot water and adding them to primary (in theory). I guess I was also thinking that adding aromatics closer to bottling would add a good aroma that might be lost quicker from the spices if they are only boiled. Similarly (and you may have read this article in your research too), I read about some brewers who actually boil some cinnamon for the 60 minutes because it will add bitterness when in the boil that long. Thanks for the brew notes too. I actually didn't use a grain bag in the boil, but I did strain the chilled wort through a grain bag. i think a got a good amount of pumpkin out, but like I said in a previous post, there was a good .5 gallons of loss due to trub. I *may* increase amount to make a 5.5 wort in the future, but I don't know if I'll bother. Looking forward to your tasting notes and such. We'll hold onto the swap idea until sometime in October when we both have conditioned bottles.
Hello onipar, I just racked to tertiary today - only racked three times to clear out all that pumpkin trub. But initial fermentation wrapped up within three days. Did a taste test and the beer tasted thin - limited spice flavor, low pumpkin flavor and almost no aroma but a nice mild bready quality --- I was pretty disappointed. I wanted to rack to tertiary after a week so... [Fast-forward to a week later] My wife and I had a Southern Tier Pumpking beer last night for inspiration of the possible additions that could be made to this current brew. That Pumpking beer is terrific - very spice flavor and aroma forward and it has a lot of character. The smell alone was rich and mouthwatering and it tasted like pumpkin pie batter made into beer - very bold and pronounced and delicious. Tasting that made me realize that I could really step up the spice additions to much higher degree. So I ended up making a 4oz lactose solution to bring up the sweetness/creaminess/mouthfeel and added an 8oz spice tea using the same proportions to what I had added during the initial brew day. The result is much better and could, I believe, use even more spices. I'll probably be adding more spices at bottling. At least the clarity of the beer has improved, but I'm losing a lot in the racking process. Note: I skipped adding any vanilla. I took a small taster from the fermentor and tried out tiny additions of spices and a high-quality vanilla extract and it just overpowered the flavors so I decided not to use vanilla at all.
Hey, thanks for the updates, Jaylove. I'm actually *really* surprised about the mouth feel and pumpkin flavor. When I tasted mine at bottling, it had a really nice, full body (I'd even say almost syrupy), and an upfront pumpkin flavor. The first thing I taste is pumpkin in fact. The spices, yeah, I can see those being too little for you. I was going for the lower end of spice flavor, enough to be present and enjoyable, but not so much that that's all I would taste. But then, I think the spice amounts are really a personal taste sort of thing. personally, I thought it was spot on with my initial spice plus the spice tea (for my taste). I am really sorry you're disappointed in the brew so far. Hopefully your additions will kick it up to what you're looking for. Also, hopefully after bottle conditioning, it will be right where you want it to be. So how much total spice have you added at this point? Funny thing, I just bought a few 4-packs of Dogfish Head Punkin' Ale to have something to compare mine to later on, and I was surprised to find a lot of the tasting notes from my ale to match up with what I tasted in the DFH beer. Not a clone *at all* (DFH has more bitter notes, higher alcohol, and more prominent allspice), but I was at least glad to see my beer was tasting like a pumpkin ale.
Hi onipar, I finally bottled my version today - later than anticipated. The sample looked a lot like your above picture - cloudy and dark orangish - but it smelled and tasted much more promising than earlier samples I've had. The pumpkin aroma and flavor is at the front and the spices come in nicely later in the sip and, to my taste, not too strongly. I'm glad I added the spice tea and the 4oz of Lactose in secondary - they help round out the flavors and body nicely. It's a quantum leap over my last year's attempt. I bottled 4 gallons using 5oz of DME for around 2.2 volumes CO2 in carbonation --- I long for a keg system; I hate bottling days. These should be ready for drinking in time for Halloween. I'm still open to trading bottles, if you are. Just personal-message me with your mailing address if/when you're really to trade samples. --- I'm glad your tasting went well - I personally love DFH's Punkin' but the Moon Hill recipe is excellent. It's a lower-gravity, subtler approach to pumpkin beer. My previous pumpkin brew was high-gravity pumpkin flavored rocket fuel, so I'm pretty happy with the results of the current recipe. I'll add an update after I crack open my first bottle - probably right around Halloween - my favorite holiday. Side Note: Ken Burns' new 3-part documentary "Prohibition" kicks off tomorrow, 10/02/11, on PBS at 8pm - it looks great. - Jay __________________ Planning: Anniversary Coconut Milk Stout, Tempest Kolsch (Original), Harpoon Winter Warmer (Clone), Caramel Cream Ale (Clone), Magnifera Indica Belgae Belgian Strong (Clone) Primary: Moon Hill Pumpkin Ale (Clone) Bottled: Evil Twin Red Ale (Clone), Dragon's Milk Brown (Clone), Magnifera Indica Belgae clone (Belgian Strong fermented w/ mango and bourbon-soaked oak), Bert Grant's Perfect Porter (Clone)
Howdy, Jaylove. I'm very glad that the recipe ended up tasting better for you. Yeah, the spice tea in secondary is absolutely necessary to hit the proper spice taste since I wrote the recipe to have both additions (boil and tea). The DFH did grow on me a little. The first sip of it always hits me wrong, but after a few more sips it somehow tastes better to me. It's not bad by any means (and of course there are plenty of people who *love* it). Just goes to show how much personal tastes and preferences can influence. Anyway, again, I'm *so* glad you're liking this. Do let me know what your final tasting notes are, and I'll PM soon about a trade/swap.
Hey dude, finally home and cleaned up from the bachelor party. I put your beers in the fridge Thursday night when I got home and my wife and I just opened the Pumpkin Ale. I've only had one bottle of one other pumpkin ale this season and didn't think it was anything special. Wolaver's Pumpkin Ale (from Vermont)...it was way short on pumpkin flavor and spice and maybe that's an attempt to reach a broader group of the buying public. The beer pours nicely, I was thinking at first I was going to get a massive head on it, but it didn't go nuts. It was a nice puffy head that dissipated after the first few sips down to just a covering of the surface. The beer smells phenomenal...not too spicy, but you can tell it's a seasonal. The taste is much better than the Wolaver's as you can tell it's actually a pumpkin beer. I think the amount of spices are right on for a beer you want to be able to share without going overboard. I could definitely tolerate more spice, but it's very drinkable and I could definitely drink a number of these sitting around a camp fire. My personal preference is for just a bit more body on the pumpkin ales, but that's just me. Nice spice notes, great flavor, awesome beer.
Your tasting notes are *very* much appreciated. I'm agreed on the body. I was going for a medium to full body (mashed high, etc), and if you read some early tasting notes, it initially seemed almost "syrupy." But now it has more of a light-medium body, and I'm not entirely sure why. Overall I'm stoked at how good this came. If you remember, when we met I was saying I was a bit worried before tasting that it wouldn't be good. Oh, and the spices. Yeah, 'm not the biggest fan of the over-the-top spicing, so I started on the lighter side, and this is about perfect for my taste. Jaylove found it a bit too mellow and added some extra to his batch. Maybe I'll try a little more next year, but I do like the flavor as is too. Anyway, thanks again for the comments.
